HC Deb 22 July 1991 vol 195 c363W
Mr. John Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make representations to the Soviet Government about their failure to grant an exit visa to Yefin and Lilya Rokhvarg, Faina and Ilya Rayerg and Alexander Perliy all of Leningrad and Yakov Orlov of Perm.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We understand that Yefin and Lilya Rokhvarg have now received permission to leave the Soviet Union. We can certainly raise with the Soviet authorities the cases of Faina and Ilya Rayerg, Alexander Perliy and Yakov Orlov, but in order to make our representations most effective we shall need further details.

A list of those refusenik cases previously raised with us was brought to the attention of the Soviet authorities during President Gorbachev's visit last week.
